Leopard SA is proud to announce that Luca Guercilena has accepted the role of Team Manager of RADIOSHACK NISSAN TREK. Guercilena, currently sports director at RADIOSHACK NISSAN TREK, will overview the cohesion and continuity the Luxembourgish cycling project that started two years ago. As of today Guercilena will be responsible for the organization of the team and supervise all sports and technical operations.
“I have this project very much at heart, being part of it since the beginning. We have amazing human resources in this team, both on the riders and the staff roster, and I believe we have the moral duty to capitalize on this potential”, says Guercilena. “This team has gone through some rough weather, but even the hardest stages come to an end. I have talked at length with the team owner and with the title sponsors, and all parties are convinced of the new direction for the team. We want to be a solid and stable team that gets noticed for its results.”
Team owner Flavio Becca: “I believe it was important to recruit from our own ranks after we parted paths with Johan Bruyneel. Luca is one of the most gifted coaches in cycling and he’s a great mediator. I have great faith in his capacities to lead our team and to appease the buzz around our team – in the interest of our sponsors, our team members and cycling in general. We are now at the halfway point of this project and I am very optimistic and exited about what lies ahead.”
